Sometimes…you just need a reset. A chance to unplug…unwind…let that shit go. If you’ve been following me on my other social media sites, you know the last couple weeks have just been crazy. I was planning not only for my son’s birthday and party, but also a camping trip. Never again! At least not in the same week lol One way for me to get my reset on is by going camping. Packing up and heading out of town. Be one with nature! Below, I’m going to share with you some of the health benefits of camping. And then a […]

Hi Friends!! Happy Friday!! It’s just been one of those weeks, kids where home Monday which threw my week off and then unbirthdays and volunteering to attend to. Needless to say I’ve had to rewash the laundry in the washer like 3 times already. #MomBrain But today I wanted to share with you a beautiful little recipe that I got from a friend. Recently, I’ve become addicted to cold brew coffee. If you haven’t tried it, go to you local Sprouts Farmers Market and fight off the next person that is trying to take the Chameleon Cold-Brew. It’s on sale […]

Hello my fabulous peeps!! I have found the holiest of all holy’s! TIGER BALM!!! It has been the biggest lifesaver this week. If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, then you know that I have had a pinched nerve since Friday. This would be the third time. I was prescribed some muscle relaxers and pain killers so I could sleep. I try not to take them during the day…because…well….they kinda throw me for a loop 😉 Mainly just sleepy and a cloudy mind. {enter tiger balm} I bought this stuff a couple of months back but never really had a reason to […]

Teas you make yourself will be more potent and flavorful. Plus, you know EXACTLY what’s in the them. Herbal teas can be very yummy and super flavorful and can deliver 50-90% of the medicinal qualities of the herbs used. The teas that you make yourself, at home, will be even more potent and flavorful and will cost you more than half the price to make than buying it already made for you. I’m all for experimenting with different herbs and creating your own blend! But be careful to avoid any that you can’t identify confidently being edible or any that […]

What is clean eating?? Well…what would you say if I told you that there aren’t very many health goals you will be able to achieve without it?? …drats!… Yeah…I know…we’re not going to get Victoria’s Angels bodies by eating nachos, burritos and taco’s every day…and that makes me very sad… …pity party over… This is…we can workout all we want from morning till night…but if we keep hitting up the local taco shop one our way home from the gym, we’re just not going to get anywhere fast. We’re just not. The simple truth is…you just can’t get healthy without […]

I’m not kidding when I say that. Stress has also been linked to some common medical problems like Alzheimer’s, heart disease, gastrointestinal problems, depression, asthma, headaches, diabetes, and the list goes on! Stress doesn’t just make us feel like poo emotionally, it can also exacerbate just about every health condition you can name off the top of you head and then some. Our cells grow at an increased rate when we are stressed, making us grow older than we really are, and making us more prone to age-related diseases, like heart disease and diabetes. When we are stressed out, our bodies release […]

Sole Searching I’ll be honest…I’m not a runner. I have tried so many times to pick up running and because I’m not good at it, I have given up. Yep. Every time. But that hasn’t stopped me from wanting to be better at it. I will try again (once it gets cooler again). Continuing on… During my times of when I was running daily, I noticed how awesome I felt afterwards. That is, after I laid on my floor thinking I was going to die, and finally recovered, I noticed. Have you ever noticed how a good run leaves you […]

Let’s talk about how to NOT set yourself up for disappointment. Everyone wants to be skinny. It’s the main reason a lot of people start to exercise. To lose some weight, and then some more, and then just a little bit more. We’re never satisfied. Especially with those that are relatively new to fitness and eating healthy. It’s hard for us to finally be happy with what we have accomplished. But, should skinny really be the ultimate goal of losing weight? I want to stop right here for a moment though. Some of us are just naturally skinny. We’re born […]
